SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001: How DocScrib Ensures Unmatched Security in Healthcare

Updated on: September 12, 2025

When it comes to healthcare, trust and compliance aren’t optional—they’re essential. Clinicians, hospitals, and medical consultants handle sensitive patient data every day, and even a minor security gap can result in data breaches, fines, and loss of trust.

That’s why choosing a solution that is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified is so important. These globally recognized standards prove that a provider doesn’t just talk about security—it actually enforces it with the highest level of operational and technical rigor.

At Docscrib, protecting patient data is at the core of our mission. With SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, Docscrib ensures that every note, every ICD-10 code, and every EMR transfer is backed by world-class security standards.

What is SOC 2 Type 2?

SOC 2 Type 2 (System and Organization Controls) is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates how well a company safeguards sensitive data over time—not just on paper, but in real-world operations.

It focuses on five “trust service criteria”:

1. Security – Protection against unauthorized access.

2. Availability – Systems are reliable and accessible when needed.

3. Processing Integrity – Data is accurate, complete, and timely.

4. Confidentiality – Sensitive information is properly restricted.

5. Privacy – Personal data is handled in line with privacy laws.

Why it matters for healthcare: SOC 2 Type 2 proves that Docscrib’s systems are continuously tested and validated to secure Protected Health Information (PHI).

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is a global standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It defines how organizations should establish, implement, and maintain security practices.

Key elements include:

• Risk Assessment & Management → Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities.

• Data Protection Policies → Ensuring encryption, secure storage, and access control.

• Ongoing Monitoring → Regular internal and external audits.

• Continuous Improvement → Security processes evolve as new threats emerge.

Why it matters for healthcare: ISO 27001 ensures that Docscrib follows strict, globally recognized best practices for handling sensitive patient data.

The Challenges Without Security Certifications

Healthcare providers using uncertified tools risk:

• Data Breaches → Leading to HIPAA violations and patient trust loss.

• Regulatory Fines → Non-compliance can cost millions.

• Audit Failures → Lack of verifiable security processes.

• Operational Risk → Unreliable systems disrupt care continuity.

With Docscrib’s SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, these risks are significantly reduced.
